Linux Mint 19.1 TO BE DONE
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
update mint-mirrors
|
||
|
||
bugs:
|
||
print test page https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/pull/77/files
|
||
wine: metapackage, mime handler and menu items
|
||
|
||
mintupdate:
|
||
don't gather packages in checkAPT as root: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/issues/379
|
||
safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).
|
||
notice to reboot the computer when appropriate
|
||
|
||
update translations for installation guide
|
||
|
||
Non-blocking bugs
|
||
=================
|
||
|
||
artwork:
|
||
- mintwelcome icon
|
||
|
||
cinnamon:
|
||
- NFS mount not visible in Nemo left menu. How to reproduce: install nfs-common, mount NFS folder.
|
||
- Even after authorize Samba in gufw, Nemo doesn’t show the local network and machine on it. I must manually type smb://user@ip to get in (after workgroup and password) In Mint 18 that was directly available.
|
||
- If the screen is rotated, then the touch screen digitiser and trackpad both move the cursor in a direction mirrored to what is expected ie move your finger to the left on the screen and the cursor moves to the right. This works properly in Gnome.
|
||
- When in tablet mode (that is, the screen is rotated and covering the keyboard) the RotateWindows key doesn't work anymore... It just does nothing...
|
||
- menu-editor: picking a pixmap in /usr/share/pixmaps for a category results in no icon being shown in the menu.
|
||
- Unable to unlock the screensaver via LDAP with libpam-ldap and nscd packages installed pointing to an openldap server.
|
||
- csd power: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/82af1816f32a26f28027ea7ce8edc79cd833bc76
|
||
|
||
Linux Mint 19.2
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
artwork considerations:
|
||
contrast down to #000?
|
||
switch to ubuntu fonts?
|
||
revamp sound theme?
|
||
revamp isolinux/grub menus?
|
||
revamp plymouth splash?
|
||
cinnamon themes to use system fonts?
|
||
grey-on-grey icons (many in cinnamon-settings)
|
||
|
||
mintlocale:
|
||
https://github.com/linuxmint/mintlocale/issues/36
|
||
|
||
pia-manager:
|
||
https://github.com/linuxmint/pia-manager/issues/11
|
||
|
||
help
|
||
rtd dev guide
|
||
rtd security guide
|
||
|
||
mate:
|
||
consider brisk menu
|
||
|
||
mintupdate:
|
||
systray icon or infobar to notify user of new Mint versions
|
||
remember sorting of updates
|
||
have an option for update manager to initiate a timeshift backup prior to applying upgrades?
|
||
|
||
port mintstick to python3
|
||
|
||
mintreport:
|
||
detect missing l10n packages and hint at mintlocale
|
||
warn about root password if not set
|
||
|
||
artwork
|
||
add dark variant support to Mint-Y (needs fixes in Caja/marco)
|
||
cursor theme?
|
||
sound theme?
|
||
bump resolution of branded backgrounds
|
||
|
||
cinnamon
|
||
enable recent by default, fix mem leak https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-desktop/commit/2015cc0f8a8fe46384225b0cf10df45f7d3d9315#diff-7ad95a88738c9b5cd253f469add87640
|
||
|
||
slick
|
||
would be nice to show release number
|
||
|
||
xapps/cinnamon/nemo:
|
||
don't ship icons with generic names in /usr/share/hicolor. All icons should be prefixed (cs-, xapp-, nemo-..etc..) so they don't conflict with other packages
|
||
|
||
Linux Mint 19.2
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
cinnamon
|
||
gtk windows
|
||
merge appsys and cmenus
|
||
ditch docinfo
|
||
|
||
nemo
|
||
better navbar
|
||
|
||
LMDE 4
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
remove debian-multimedia
|
||
|
||
Roadmap
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
main ideas
|
||
mintsystem apt downgrade
|
||
|
||
desktop-search:
|
||
local files
|
||
web engines
|
||
recent
|
||
apps
|
||
dictionary
|
||
translations
|
||
|
||
mate:
|
||
switch mozo for menulibre
|
||
|
||
mintreport:
|
||
dmesg errors
|
||
foreign packages if pinned by mint
|
||
wrong lsb info..etc.
|
||
slow boot sequence
|
||
slow shutdown sequence
|
||
migrate to systemd-coredump (to make it compatible with LMDE)
|
||
systray support
|
||
use systemd-coredump
|
||
|
||
implement an alarm clock
|
||
|
||
cinnamon:
|
||
cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded
|
||
CSD: support mouse wheel speed? Evdev scrolling distance?
|
||
preferences > keyboard > custom shortcuts. Used with a Spanish keyboard layout. Recorded: crtl+number and ctrl+Shift+number (e.g. ctrl+1 and ctrl+shift+1 = ctrl+!) they are recorded correctly. When using the shortcut the command defined in the shift combination is triggered with just ctrl+number (i.e. ctrl+1). The complete combination triggers nothing (i.e. ctrl+shift+1 does nothing) and the comand defined in ctrl+number can never be used. This worked in 17.3.
|
||
track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate)
|
||
track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy
|
||
todo list applet/desklet
|
||
calendar events applet/desklet
|
||
multiple clocks https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets
|
||
network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all)
|
||
nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better
|
||
alt-tab and panel use icon provided by appsys, ignoring icon set by the application itself (example: a python window using widow.set_icon_name())
|
||
actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file
|
||
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
|
||
Is there any reason why there are two names for the same item, eg. "Trash" and "Rubbish Bin"? Would it be better to standardise on only one name?
|
||
add gnome-screenshot to panel, right-click and select "Take screenshot of a selected area". This runs gnome-screenshot -a.. it should work but it doesn't. Is it because of the panel launcher capturing the click event or something?
|
||
|
||
xapps
|
||
implement an app-sharing protocol to quickly move a document from one app to another
|
||
|
||
gestures support:
|
||
pinch:
|
||
zoom document in pix
|
||
zoom view in nemo
|
||
|
||
swipe:
|
||
previous/next document in pix
|
||
|
||
scroll:
|
||
sound-volume/seek in xplayer
|
||
|
||
click:
|
||
pause/resume in xplayer
|
||
|
||
double-click:
|
||
full-screen in xplayer
|
||
full-screen in xviewer
|
||
|
||
pix
|
||
doesn't rotate videos when playing them
|
||
vignettes should look better, and the same in all themes
|
||
support prefer-dark-themes
|
||
treeview in sidebar shows unecessary "(empty)" when dirs have no subdirs
|
||
|
||
artwork:
|
||
Tray icons are black with mint-y themes.
|
||
mint-x-icons: network status icons have a dark background in panel 33px and bigger (sound icon looks wrong in 41px and bigger).
|
||
mint-y The maximize/restore window control button doesn’t change visually between in maximized and restored state (default theme and Mint-Y-Dark)
|
||
|
||
system:
|
||
compiler optimization: consider optimizing compiled binaries for Cinnamon/Xapps
|
||
|
||
HiDPI support:
|
||
upstream apps using GTK2: Gimp, Hexchat, Tomboy.
|
||
|
||
R&D
|
||
===
|
||
|
||
system
|
||
consider enabling recommends
|
||
|
||
network discovery:
|
||
easy out-of-the-box interactions (messaging/presence/file-sharing) over the LAN
